4 Tricks To Make Perfume Last All Day

I love perfume. I think it’s so cool to have a signature scent that adds to the ambiance of who you are, and one that people remember you by. Scent is the most powerful memory trigger. Just one small trace of a scent can take your mind right back to a specific place, event, person, or period of time. A few months ago I discovered Florence by Tocca, and I’ve worn it every day since. When I move on to my next scent, whenever that may be, this scent will always bring me back to where I am in my life right now.

The issue I have with perfume, though, is that I can never seem to make the scent last all day. I get a beautiful whiff when I apply it in the morning, but the scent diminishes as the hours go by, and soon enough it seems to disappear altogether. I went on a mission to solve this problem, and found out that I’d been doing it all wrong! There are a bunch of things you can do to make that gorgeous scent of yours last all day. Here’s how:

1. Moisturize that skin.

If you have naturally oily skin, you’re in luck — a scent will last much longer on you. For those of you with dry skin, find out if your scent comes in lotion form, and use that first for maximum scent capacity. If it doesn’t come in a lotion, first use an unscented moisturizer on damp skin wherever you plan to apply your scent.

2. Apply to pulse points.

Heat is what activates perfume. The pulse points on your body (where your heart rate can be felt) are the best spots to apply a scent, due to the warmth of your blood. Some such points are located behind your ear, at the bottom of your throat, on your wrist, inside your elbow, and behind your knee.

3. Don’t rub.

After applying a fragrance, many people feel a need to rub it in in order to warm the skin or spread the scent. This is a big mistake! Rubbing a perfume breaks down its molecules, diminishing the scent into thin air.

4. Store it the right way.

Heat, light, and humidity can all break down the compounds in a perfume, causing it to be less fragrant. To keep your scent at its best, store it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. Make sure to keep it out of the bathroom, as the heat and humidity from showers and baths could damage it greatly.

Do you have any tricks for making perfume last longer? Let us know! And while you’re at it, tell us what your signature scent is. :)

I love to spray three or four spritz’s into my closet and onto my clothes about once a week, it makes my clothes smell so good, and I find the smell last longer on me whenever I do this, then I spray my self. I love ma petite cherie by Annick Goutal. Super over priced, but it smells like green apple :)

I spray perfume on my hair while it’s still damp. I usually flip my head upside down and spray it on the underside of my hair, close to the base of my hairline. It’s such an easy trick that leaves my hair smelling amazing for hours and hours!

I don’t have a signature scent – I wear perfume based on how I feel that day and I sometimes collect perfume based on how much I love the bottle! No matter what, my fragrances MUST be cruelty-free. I won’t buy a perfume that was tested on animals. I have a lot of LUSH Cosmetics Gorilla Perfumes, and they are by far my favourite. If I had to pick a signature, it’d be LUSH Cosmetics’ limited edition American Cream perfume – the same scent as my favourite conditioner.

My Momma taught me many years ago how to wear perfume. (She loved to keep up with fashion magazines and the ladies–Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn, etc.) I have people tell me that I always smell nice. My skin is dry so I use Coconut Oil after showering on my still damp skin. Then I lightly towel dry. The oil doesn’t really leave a scent so my Juicy Couture stays all day with me, even after work. I do spritz some under my arms too as I use natural products for deodorant. And sometimes, for a little more added effect, a slight mist in the air just above my hair–not too much though–just a hint.

Hi there,
Great article! A couple of things though:
1) Don’t put perfume behind your ears because often it is exudes a funky scent that can wreak havoc with your expensive fragrance. Put it under your ears on your neck for the pulse pointt or into your hairline at the back of your neck, every time you flick your hair you will waft.
2) The Moisturiser tip is excellent. You can also use a non perfumed moisturiser and squirt in some perfume before you apply, this gives a beautiful, slow release wash of fragrance from a whole arm or decolletage.
3) Another great way to give your skin good fragrance stickability is two drops of olive oil in your bath, it feeds and moisturises, and also gives a good grab for fragrance.
I hope this helps,

I’m gonna keep in mind your pointers here, bella! It’s also my problem with my current perfume. And I’m quite reluctant to spend so much money for the more expensive ones. All the other comments are also of much help. Thanks!

if your perfume comes in a spray bottle, also spray it on your hair (as if you “create” a bridge with it and then you just “walk” under it) and then comb your hair with your hands so it arrives to everywhere. if the perfume doesn’t come in a spray bottle, put some in your hands, rub them and just touch the ends of your hair).

I know that to “rub” the perfume breaks the molecules, but in that case you put perfume ON your body (the places you say are the ones I already know, except the knees one) but this is just for a “plus”, and your hair keeps the scent better than your skin and whenever you walk, your scent goes behind you :)

Great tips! You can apply perfume to your ankles too. :) I’ve tried hundreds upon hundreds of fragrances looking for my signature and I’ll share a couple of the best perfumes I’ve ever tried. If you’re into vanilla fragrances, the absolute Holy Grail of vanilla scents is Vanigila Del Madagascar. Expensive, but worth every penny! If you like more mysterious incense-y yet sweet scents, Onyx perfume oil by Sage is amazing! Great price for all of the fragrances by Sage.

If you dab a little Vaseline (petroleum jelly) on the inside of your wrist or elbow, then rub your perfume into that, it will last longer than 24 hours. I usually have to wash it off before bed or it bothers me while I sleep cause its too strong. Totally works, everyone knows my signature scent :)

First. ALWAYS APPLY TO HAIR..just a light spritz or if u don’t have an atomizer bottle, get a drop on your palmand massage it in to the underside of your hair. The protein in your hair retains the scent molecules much longer than skin. Apply it to hair.n the morning and you’ll likely smell it as you’re going to bed.
Next…Apply more heavily to your ankles,calves,even dab on the bottom seam at end of your jeans..(one of the few fabrics that can take it…don’t want to stain any.nice slacks. As scent disperses, it rises; after the scent on your neck fades, you’ll still be catching it waft up from your ankles ; ).

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.

I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with
internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you
know. The design look great though! Hope you get the
issue resolved soon. Cheers

Great blog post! Perfume oils last longer, are richer and impart a deeper, more authentic scent than the traditional perfume because it has no fillers which are in the real perfumes. Please check us out on http://www.glamperfumeoil.com.

Greate article. Keep writing such kind of information on
your page. Im really impressed by your site.
Hey there, You’ve done an excellent job. I will certainly digg it and for my part suggest to my friends.
I am sure they will be benefited from this web site.

Irony. Some people want to prolong their exposure to the toxic chemicals they spray on their body while others are so sick from those hundreds of toxic chemicals, they will do anything to stay away from those people whose chemicals make them sick.

Hi! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading through your articles.
Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?
Thanks a lot!

What’s Happening i am new to this, I stumbled upon
this I’ve discovered It absolutely helpful and it has helped
me out loads. I’m hoping to contribute & assist other users
like its aided me. Great job.

Soft woods may require nails that may be one penny larger, or sometimes, even
two pennies larger. In case fire or explosion does occur, immediately smother the fire with a
thick blanket or non-flammable material to remove oxygen since fire cannot be
sustained in the absence of this element. If you haven’t yet, open the box
your motherboard came in and use the manual to make sure you have everything that should be there.

Actually, the “rubbing perfume breaks down the molecules” thing is a myth. I read it in either Allure or Glamour. If it were really that easy to break apart molecules, we would be in serious trouble. Go ahead and rub your wrists together, it will not destroy your perfume, don’t worry.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you
know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.

You have to make sure you get targeted traffic that will convert,
and convert very well for you. Your main keyword in the article
is the term that the visitors are looking for information so
make sure that it is in put in your title. There are some
hosting companies like BRAVENET and ONE as examples that do
offer free templates and build your own website programs but these are pretty common and not personal
to you, there are literally thousands of individuals using
the same website template as you.

These are all some very good tips cologne/perfume wearers should take note of. Especially #4. Always make sure to keep your cologne/perfume stored in a dry, cool place, otherwise you’ll ruin your juice! Sometimes I also just roll up my windows in my car and spray a couple of times so I cover myself in the scent (don’t go overboard here). My sig scent is Armani Code… although I’m really digging Diesel Fuel for Life at the moment. Check out some of my other favorites at The Aromatic Gentleman

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to
get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty
penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

naturally like your website however you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts.
Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I’ll surely come again again.

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested
to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.

The target of a San Diego DUI attorney is to dominate at the
California DMV administrative hearing. If DMV maintains the suspension activity, unless the motorist is qualified for
a restricted driving benefit, the DMV Manual describes these 2 “charm” options
available to the legal representative: (1) Department Review and also (2) Superior Court Review– a civil lawsuit
in the form of a request for writ of mandamus

“12.180 DEPARTMENTAL ASSESSMENT AFTER A HEARING

Tell them the decision if the motorist is not advised of the decision at the end of the hearing
will certainly be forwarded soon. If the Notification of Findings and also Choice (DS, inform the vehicle driver.
2358) suggests an unfavorable decision, it also specifies they have a right to a departmental and also.
court evaluation.

If the vehicle driver is notified of an unfavorable decisionat the conclusion of the hearing, inform the.
individual of their charm civil liberties and also affix the written request (DS 2426, or blank paper) to the.
file. The department review cost of $120 should accompany the request for an assessment. The.
specific data, listening to disk, request for departmental review, docudrama evidence, and.
findings of reality are sent to the head offices’ Driver Safety Appeals System (DSAU) where.
the departmental review is carried out. DSAU issues the order and also updates the driving.
record.

An exemption to sending the file, and so on, to the DSAU is when an intelligible and full .
audio recording of the hearing is unavailable. In this instance, seek advice from administration to.
choose whether the instance ought to be resumed or reserved, relying on the timeliness of.
the activity, the date the hearing was held, as well as when the driver was notified of the outcomes.
of the hearing. (The denoted forms are located in Appendix A.).

NOTE: The $120 charge does not put on a request for a departmental evaluation of any kind of.
other hearing kind, including hearings performed pursuant to Â§ 13353.1 VC,.
PAS or other Chemical Examination Refusal Under Age 21.

12.185 COURT REVIEW.

Under Â§ 13559 VC, a vehicle driver which has obtained a notification maintaining an APS suspension or.

If the driver’s case has actually been assessed by the division, the declaring needs to be within 90.
days of getting the division’s decision, and does not remain the suspension or.

Decision.

A searching for by the court under this area has no collateral estoppel result on a.
subsequent criminal prosecution and also does not avert litigation of those same facts in.

You’re so awesome! I do not suppose I’ve read anything like
that before. So great to discover another person with original thoughts on this subject matter.
Seriously.. thank you for starting this up. This web site is
one thing that is needed on the web, someone with a little
originality!

Amber Romance by Victoria’s Secret is my signature scent and what I usually do to make the scent last longer is by getting vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) rubbing it on my pulse points and then spraying my body spray. It makes the scent last longer because the jelly keeps the scent.

Great tip about applying a lotion before putting on perfume. I didn’t know about that and I can’t wait to try it and see if my perfume will last longer. I’m on the run all day and usually have a small spray type perfume in my bag, so maybe I won’t to carry it anymore!

This is thee right websute forr anyone who really wants to
understand this topic. You know a whole lot its
almost tough to argue with you (not tjat I personally would want to…HaHa).
You certainly putt a brand new spin on a subject that
has been written about for ages. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!

One of the major ACS student loan groups is known as the Campus Based Student Loan Program (CBSL).
In a credit history, it shows the complete record of an individual’s or companies’ past borrowing and repaying behavior.
Although banks are set up by their owners and may be able to collect savings from customers
and offer loans primarily based on their savings,
they don’t operate independently as such.

♡ Si by Giorgio Armani is AMAZINGGGG, and because of this article (or whatever you want to call it), everyone knows it’s me even before I walk in the room! (Not sure if that means I spray too much, or if I’m just too unique). Oh well, thanks!! ♡

Thank you for the advise.I’ve always been into fragrance. It’s the first thing that I apply after I shower. Since I’ve always been drawn to lighter fragrances ( mostly citrus ) it’s an annoyance when fragrance is all but gone after an hour. A lot of it has to do with the way they’re making colognes now days. With a lack of substantial bottom notes, which is the part of the fragrance that’s suppose linger the longest. Bvlgari is famous for this. Anyway thanks again

I would suggest using maybe something like Channel or Lancôme because those are actual perfumes not fragrance mists because the fragrance mist only lasts for about 2hrs and perfume last for a whole day, plus that will help you find your signature scent easier and you’ll always smell good

Actually i do produce perfume my self. from my research,findings and observation. a perfume sent isn’t based on how you love it. it depends on the people around you and the comment they give about you fragrance. to make your perfume last longer you got to make sure the content are equally of the same ratio of 1:1:1. like my facebook page for more information on how you can create your own perfume. #Youbee
